Full Description & Details

With the Sizzix Big Shot, you can create your own one-of-a-kind cards, invitations, scrapbook pages, home décor, fashion, altered art, quilting, and much more. In just moments, you can easily bring your custom creation to life!

With a sleek white and gray color scheme and the Sizzix logo embossed on the handle, the Big Shot Machine offers plenty of style, with power. The solid core steel rollers and solid steel gears make this Big Shot as tough as it is stylish!

This die cut machine doesn’t just look good – it’s also no lightweight in the versatility department. The Big Shot will work with the entire Sizzix library of dies (excluding Bigz Plus and Bigz Pro dies) – from the smallest thin metal dies to the big 6" wide steel rule dies. The Sizzix Big Shot will cut all the materials you need for scrapbooking and crafting, such as cardstock, foam, cork, chipboard, and more. It will even cut fabric for your sewing and quilting projects! If that wasn't enough, this portable roller machine will emboss many different materials using Sizzix embossing folders. (To ensure compatibility with materials, always check machine and accessory requirements. Machine accessories may be sold separately.)

“I couldn't pass up this Sizzix bundle. The price is right. I use the Big Shot for all of my die cutting. It's easy to use and the nice part is that you get a "sandwich" guide in this bundle that helps you determine which tabs to use on the platform based on the die or embossing folder, etc. It was also a plus to get a set of dies too!” -- sakanzaki

“This is my 1st die cutting machine and I love it!! This set is exactly everything a novice needs to get started. Even tho my experience is limited, the quality is obvious. I am so glad I made the purchase! And thank you SB for putting together this package!” -- dhumenik

Instructions: To use the Sizzix Big Shot machine with thin metal dies (like the included Nested Rectangles) use the included Sizzix Multi- Platform or an accessory platform such as the Sizzix Magnetic Platform, as well as the included set of cutting pads. To create your die cutting “sandwich”, begin by placing the platform on the bottom. On top of the platform, place one cutting pad. Then place your paper right side up on top of the cutting pad. Place the thin metal die on top of the paper, with the cutting edge down (in contact with the paper). Finish the die cut “sandwich” by placing the second cutting pad on top. Set the die and pad “sandwich” on the cutting path of the Big Shot machine, and turn the crank to move it through the machine.

To use the Sizzix Big Shot with a steel rule die, place the die between a pair of cutting pads with the paper face down over the part of the die design you would like to cut. If needed, use washi or masking tape to secure the paper in place to get perfect placement of your paper. Set the die and pad “sandwich” on the cutting path of the Big Shot machine, and turn the crank to move it through the machine.

For easy reference of how to assemble “sandwiches” with the included cutting pads for other types of dies and Sizzix accessories, use the Sizzix Sandwich Booklet that is included in this bundle!

TIP: The Sizzix Big Shot machine’s polycarbonate plastic cutting pads often make loud creaking, cracking and snapping noises while being cranked through the machine, that can sound alarming. Do not panic if your machine makes these noises while cutting! This is a normal part of machine operation and the cutting pads and machine are designed to withstand the pressures of cutting

Terrific bundle

I purchased this bundle as a gift for my mother and she absolutely loves it!! The rectangle dies are so versatile and Mom has been mailing me small "projects" weekly to show me what she's doing. Thank you, Scrapbook.com for the very affordable bundle . . . you've made both me and my mother very happy!

Big Shot from Sizzix

I love my Big Shot, I have gone through 3 of them already. I teach stamping classes and do all kinds of workshops and I even encourage my stamping ladies that they should get one because they'd use it all the time.

Great Bundle!

Fun, Fun, Fun!

This is my 1st die cutting machine and I love it!! This set is exactly everything a novice needs to get started. Even tho my experience is limited, the quality is obvious. I am so glad I made the purchase! And thank you SB for putting together this package!

Great Buy!

The Big Shot bundle is a great value and gave me the opportunity to try the basic dies before purchasing more. I bought it for the multiple uses available (die cutting, embossing, cutting fabric, etc.) I will highly recommend this product.

Love it

I have been scrapbooking for about a year without anything to make shapes for me. Finally I started buying punches (getting expensive) or cutting things out by hand was time consuming & not very professional looking. This cuts flawlessly! It was so worth the money. I have embossed anything yet but hope to soon.

Easy for Beginners

I am SO pleased that I got this machine! I did my research and it was by far most cost effective to buy this from Scrapbook.com. I've never done die cutting before and it was so easy a cavewoman could do it ;) Even though I'm a beginner the dies have come out looking professional and easy! This has been a GAME CHANGER in my page layouts. I wasn't excited to spend this much money after how much I had already dropped on cardstock, adhesives, stickers, stamps etc but this is money well spent and well worth it. No regrets here! I'm excited to expand my die collection and see where this Big Shot takes me!

The opening to this Die Cut machine is 6 inches wide. So you would have to trim down the cardstock to fit through the opening of the machine. I hope this helps.

I am looking into die cutting machine. Instead of jumping into the Cricut, like I originally intended to buy. Now, I'm thinking a Sizzix would be better for me starting out. Should I get a manual or electric? Which one cuts better. I'd be using cardstock, mostly. Thank you for your advice in advance.

You should purchase the Suzzix Big Shot Plus! They are awesome. I just started as well and I just have the big shot. Wish I had bought the big shot plus. So my things you can crest on these die cuts.

No, it does not use a 8.5 x11 inch paper.. It will cover that size folded in half long-wise.

Does it cut through cardstock uesing the Spellbinders Designer Series with the intricate patterns?

I have cut intricate dies, from different companies, including lots of Sizzix dies. I don't have any Spellbinders Designer Series yet. You would need to buy the Sizzix Precision Base Plate, separate from the Big Shot machine, and you should have no problems cutting through normal cardstock or glitter card stock with intricate dies and thinlets. I use mine all the time, have had no problems with it. The Big shot cuts almost anything including the older thick Sizzix dies. You can also buy the magnetic platform which will help your dies to stay in place. This is my 2nd Big Shot machine, and I stuck with it because of the vast amount of different sizes of dies and materials you can use with it. Hope this helps you out.

Nesting dies are actually thinlit dies that are nested together in different sizes. I hope this helps.

The extended platform included with this machine is approximately 6" x 14" inches. I hope this is helpful.
